Tokens and Next-Token Prediction
🎧 Focus sounds
Soft beat sounds that many learners like while reading. Pick one, press Play, and keep studying.
Keep the volume low. These sounds are for comfort while studying, not a medical treatment. If you have epilepsy or are sensitive to pulsing sounds, use the background noise only.
In this lesson
Every large language model (LLM), however clever it looks, does one job: given some text, it predicts what comes next. It writes an answer one small piece at a time, adding each piece to the text and predicting again.
Those small pieces are called tokens.
